Just when everyone complained that Ram Gopal Varma repeats his cast for all his movies, he proved everyone wrong and gave a hit - Company - with an all new star-cast.Vivek Oberoi, Ajay Devgan and Manisha Koirala hogged all the limelight in Ramu`s Company.

Conspicuous by his absence in Company, though, was `Bhiku Mhatre` Manoj Bajpai.Defending his exclusion, Manoj aka Bhiku claimed that it would have looked very odd if any of the characters from Satya were repeated in Company. But in the same breath added recently that given a chance he would have loved to play the underworld kingpin, Malik bhai.

While everybody cried themselves hoarse comparing Vivek`s character with Manoj`s in Satya, the actor has surprised everyone by saying that it was Ajay`s role that he coveted.Expect the unexpected, seems to be the buzz around Manoj Bajpai.
